A.Cle,l;;g.yman's Ruse.

A good, true story, now current in
New York, tells how a Young assistant
minister of a Fifth avenue church has
made his way rapidly into great social
favor. He did it By making the infiucn-
tial ladies' of his congregation believe
that they were responsible for the best
points in the sermons. In making a
pastoral call, and when the conversation
turned on religious topics, he would pick
out some utterance af his hostess, declare
it admirable, and promise to use on the
next Sunday. On that occasion she
would proudly hear him introduce an
embelIished form Of the coneeit with
such an introduction as, s One Of the
brightest minds I know or, From. q

What Killed Cro0uet.

Many of US remember that fifteen or
twenty years ago croquet was . pleasant,
# not very exciting, pastime for sum
mer afternoon; but when enthusiastic
players discovered that the way to win
the game was not to make the running of
your own hoops the first object, but
rather aim at preventing your opponent
from running his, by leaving his ball be-
hind . peg Or wire; and when they de-
veloped systematic methods Of carrying
out these tactics, the game was at once
changed, for an ordinary people, into as
disagreeable 3 form Of amusement as ever
NeA devised; and croquet died Of sci
s1ti6eplay, and lawn tennis reigned ID

Beautiful Work in Ivory.

tA With improved methods Of carving
came a more general demand for small
ivory figures which could be used as or
narnents, and as result the subjects be-
came moreEvaried and less conventional.
We now have beautiful toilet articles
with carvings of flowers and arabesque
Baskets of9iyory worthy to inclose gems
little statues Of genre designs; birds and
grayhounds and miniature figures of hui
manity. Striking groups and scenes
from life arc carved out of the white SUBJ
stance, and the whole inlaid with differ
emily coIored ivory which gives the pic
turc realistic and beautiful appearance.
The more delicate Of the carvings have
to be executed by trained hand and IN
artistic eye. Many women are employed
inthis work, especially in the ivory man
ufactories of Europe, where they are
paid good wages for their labor. The
rougher work, such as making billiard
balls, rings for harness and ivory ham
dies, is done entirely BY machinery, but
since the demand for fine household
ornaments has grown 50 steadily, large
number Of gifted women have been given
employment in the manufactures to do
the fine polishing and designing. The
ivory used is taken, not only from Africa
and Asia and the fossil mammoth Of ST.
IBERIA, but also from the horns Of. the hip
popotamus, the tusks Of the walrus and
thesword iof the narwhale.
The grain Of the several kinds differs
very materially, and ID proportion to the
delicateness of the lines is the price paid
forIit. The elephant tusk represents the
] finest specimens of ivory. When the
tusks are brought into the workshop they
are cut into shapes necessary. for carving
bmachinery. The objects are designed
beforehand and . suitable piece is cut out
from the sheet at one turn Of the wheel.
These pieces are then takenHby the art
ists, who design and polish them until
fashioned ready for the store. The cary-
ers sit at long desks facing windows Of
light, and they use salt and water be-
sth the touch Of their fine tools. The
polishing is accomplished upon wheels on
